💡Performances

💡Possession

Possession refers to the control and retention of the ball during the match.

However, he argues that this was expected and part of Manchester United's tactical approach to defend compactly and break on the counter-attack.

💡Bench

The bench refers to the substitute players available to the manager during the match. The speaker expresses frustration with the lack of quality options on Manchester United's bench, stating that the substitutes brought on, such as Amrabat and Antony, offered 'absolutely nothing' and did not improve the team's performance.

💡Responsibility

The concept of responsibility is highlighted when the speaker discusses the need for individual players to take responsibility for their performances. He suggests that despite the contentious refereeing decisions and officiating, the Manchester United players must also take responsibility for their inability to create chances and retain possession, particularly in the final third.

Highlights

I think they were robbed I'll explain why for you I know some people don't agree with me but I'm I'm not changing my mind and I've actually took a couple of minutes on purpose to watch them back and see if the red tented glasses need removing

I thought two of man City's goals were totally preventable by officials who just seem to be so inconsistent and it's the second Manchester d in a row where I think a ridiculous decision is done is over hiling on rodri at Old Trafford never seen a penalty given like it before, never seen one since and then today

he gives a foul on Delo for the same thing that happens to rashford whether it's soft or not, whether Gary Neville thinks it's a foul or not they always get given when you're outside the box and somebody pulls you back you take a tumble it's a foul it should have been given it wasn't given, they go up the other end and they score

as for the Edison one I've want at no point am I going to be changing my mind on this because I keep watching it, I keep watching it and all I see is and watch it back all I see is Edison out of control off the ground two feet wide open stood up gets the ball and then cleans out gono you do that in the center circle the crowd would go crazy, and it' get it be a red card

all people are saying to me is it's a good tackle he gets the ball it's a good tackle and I'm like look watch it back if you think that we don't get that's not a foul and we don't get yellow cards and red cards for that I don't know where I've been for the last six years it's the last man tackle he gets the ball but he's out of control his legs are like a pair of scissors he wraps them around the player afterwards he cleans him out his studs are up I I think it's a penalty

I said before the game for Manchester United to win this game every player has to play a seven out of 10 you know you're up against the best team in the world at their place in a derby if you want to win this game every player has got to put in at least a seven out of 10

in that season with Rio and vidit and Ronaldo and Rooney and TZ and Carrick, and gigs and skulls and vesar in that season at Old Trafford in the February, we lost 2-1 to Manchester City who had the greats of Richard dun diet Haman and vasel and benjani scored so you know, it's not impossible to go and get a result in a Manchester Derby away from home and we've done it in the past but what H what has to happen what has to happen is you have to have 11 players that play well

I actually think that I I predicted 2-0 to Man City it finished 3-1 so I predicted it right I I thought Man City would be two goals better than us we've not been stuffed five or six nil which I don't think was ever going to happen some people predicted that I don't think it was ever going to happen, um we've we've lost 3-1 2- nil whatever you want to call it

but absolutely categorically you've got to call out some individual players because when we do the player ratings not everybody got a seven out of 10 and if you go into a derby and you can look in the mirror and you've not given a seven out of 10 then you're responsible

I thought ten hog got his tactics absolutely spot on absolutely spot on we are up against a team that has got no injuries that can keep the ball all game, and that was always going to happen we needed to be compact we needed to be organized and we needed to break well

and in the first 20 minutes we could have been two or 3-0 up rashford scores a brilliant goal one-on-one he should have done better and then on the back post he should have done better for 20 minutes it was fine they were having a lot of the ball we were well organized we were breaking well and from 20 minutes it stopped the defense carried on doing its job the Midfield can carried on being compact Scott mctom disappeared for the whole game Bruno Fernandez became the Bruno Fernandez of the last month where he just can't string a pass together gacho and rashford faded out of the game we I don't think we constructed a decent Breakaway attack after the 20th minute, and that's why we've lost the game

because despite what I thought was some ridiculously inconsistently incompetent officiating and a Absolut you know am rat's done you know I was willing to give him a chance I mean that that's just I don't know what to say and Anthony as well that that that that those those two Off the Bench I mean look you've got to make substitutes you have but [ __ ] hell you know 3121 makes no difference but 3-1 makes it look a lot more convincing than it really was 2-1 would have been the right score I think based on you know the referees of Pratt but 3-1 you know all the hard work of the Defenders and the Midfield out the window because amrabat is [ __ ] useless I mean why does he not just boot the kick the ball away

but um no amongst all all of it I think the most important thing that that I would say is that there are look there's not there's not one five there's not one size that fits all here man city are a fantastically good footballing side we already know this um I've not seen a team go to chel uh Man City in a long time and you know even make them look partially uncomfortable with possession so I'm not really bothered about that I would have done exactly the same tactics that ten hog did and I thought it were well for 20 minutes but lo and behold again United's big problem is we can't get 11 players to play well at the same time um they absolutely let us down in the front four positions

and look I like gacho rashford scored a good goal I like Bruno but it's not acceptable it's the performance is so bad and mctom was really bad but we had to play him because you know set pieces we knew were going to be important but the problem is it's like I almost just think I wish we were playing Everton tomorrow because there's nothing you can do like there isn't anything you can do I look at the bench you've got um the young Defender you've got Cala you've got forson you've got Ahmad you've got Kia and then you've got Anthony and amrabat who get brought on and they're [ __ ] [ __ ] so I'm like it's so frustrating

and I actually saw somebody say you know well it's not acceptable I know we've got injuries but it's not acceptable we should be doing better than that and I'm like but how how are we going to do any better than that like look at the bench you're talking like oh you know we shouldn't pick momy and Bruno because we should be picking Mount and Erikson Erikson's been rubbish for for weeks mount's not fit we've got no Strikers we've got no left back

00:22

00:23

goals were totally preventable by

00:25

officials who just seem to be so

00:27

inconsistent and it's the second

00:29

Manchester d in a row where I think a

00:31

ridiculous decision is done is over

00:33

hiling on rodri at Old Trafford never

00:35

seen a penalty given like it before

00:37

never seen one since and then today um

00:40

even in the last minutes he gives a foul

00:43

on Delo for the same thing that happens

00:45

to rashford whether it's soft or not

00:47

whether Gary Neville thinks it's a foul

00:49

or not they always get given when you're

00:51

outside the box and somebody pulls you

00:53

back you take a tumble it's a foul it

00:56

should have been given it wasn't given

00:58

they go up the other end and they score

01:00

and as for the Edison one I've want at

01:03

no point am I going to be changing my

01:05

mind on this because I keep watching it

01:08

I keep watching it and all I see is and

01:12

watch it back all I see is Edison out of

01:15

control off the ground two feet wide

01:18

open stood up gets the ball and then

01:21

cleans out gono you do that in the

01:24

center circle the crowd would go crazy

01:27

and it' get it be a red card and all

01:28

people are saying to me is it's a good

01:30

tackle he gets the ball it's a good

01:33

tackle and I'm

01:34

like look watch it back if you think

01:38

that we don't get that's not a foul and

01:40

we don't get yellow cards and red cards

01:41

for that I don't know where I've been

01:43

for the last six years it's the last man

01:45

tackle he gets the ball but he's out of

01:48

control his legs are like a pair of

01:50

scissors he wraps them around the player

01:52

afterwards he cleans him out his studs

01:54

are up I I think it's a penalty I do I

01:57

just don't think they've got the balls

01:58

to give that in the modern game and I'd

02:00

call anybody a a hypocrite who says we

02:03

haven't seen fouls given for that and

02:05

then amrabat at the end just givs him a

02:06

three goal so I think all three goals

02:08

are really preventable really

02:09

preventable but look we've lost the game

02:12

uh you know there's no point in talking

02:13

about officials this has been going on

02:15

all season it's happened to other clubs

02:16

it's happened to Liverpool it's happened

02:18

to Arsenal we've lost the game and I

02:20

think we've got to look at ourselves as

02:21

well and we do play a ratings Mark every

02:24

player out of 10 six being the average

02:26

um I think the first thing I would say

02:29

is that I said before the game for

02:32

Manchester United to win this game every

02:35

player has to play a seven out of 10 you

02:40

know you're up against the best team in

02:41

the world at their place in a derby if

02:45

you want to win this game every player

02:47

has got to put in at least a seven out

02:49

of 10 in 2008 Manchester United won the

02:53

Champions League and the Premier League

02:55

and we should have won the FA Cup dodgy

02:56

referee indecision against Portsmouth

02:58

knocked us out they went on to win it in

03:01

that season with Rio and vidit and

03:04

Ronaldo and Rooney and TZ and Carrick

03:06

and gigs and skulls and vesar in that

03:09

season at Old Trafford in the February

03:12

we lost 2-1 to Manchester City who had

03:15

the greats of Richard dun diet Haman and

03:19

vasel and benjani scored so you know

03:23

it's not impossible to go and get a

03:26

result in a Manchester Derby away from

03:28

home and we've done it in the past but

03:30

what H what has to happen what has to

03:32

happen is you have to have 11 players

03:35

that play well I actually think that I I

03:40

predicted 2-0 to Man City it finished

03:42

3-1 so I predicted it right I I thought

03:45

Man City would be two goals better than

03:47

us we've not been stuffed five or six

03:49

nil which I don't think was ever going

03:51

to happen some people predicted that I

03:52

don't think it was ever going to happen

03:54

um we've we've lost 3-1 2- nil whatever

03:57

you want to call it but

04:00

absolutely categorically you've got to

04:02

call out some individual players because

04:05

when we do the player ratings not

04:07

everybody got a seven out of 10 and if

04:09

you go into a derby and you can look in

04:12

the mirror and you've not given a seven

04:14

out of 10 then you're responsible I

04:16

thought ten hog got his tactics

04:18

absolutely spot on absolutely spot on we

04:21

are up against a team that has got no

04:23

injuries that can keep the ball all game

04:26

and that was always going to happen we

04:28

needed to be compact we needed to be

04:30

organized and we needed to break well

04:32

and in the first 20 minutes we could

04:33

have been two or 3-0 up rashford scores

04:36

a brilliant goal one-on-one he should

04:39

have done better and then on the back

04:40

post he should have done better for 20

04:42

minutes it was fine they were having a

04:44

lot of the ball we were well organized

04:46

we were breaking well and from 20

04:48

minutes it stopped the defense carried

04:51

on doing its job the Midfield can

04:53

carried on being compact Scott mctom

04:55

disappeared for the whole game Bruno

04:58

Fernandez became the Bruno Fernandez of

05:00

the last month where he just can't

05:01

string a pass together gacho and

05:03

rashford faded out of the game we I

05:05

don't think we constructed a decent

05:07

Breakaway attack after the 20th minute

05:10

and that's why we've lost the game

05:12

because there are bad refereeing

05:14

decisions in there of course there are

05:16

whether we disagree or agree on them I

05:18

think there are I think you know they

05:20

scored straight after the rashford foul

05:22

they scored straight after what should

05:23

have been a penalty and amrabat made a

05:25

big mistake if I'm a Defender I'm fuming

05:28

but I'd also be in the dressing room as

05:30

the manager or as somebody like Rafel

05:33

Varan and I'd say we've worked our ass

05:35

off today I know I've put in a seven out

05:38

of 10 I know Johnny Evans did I know

05:40

Delo did I know Mayu did I know casmiro

05:43

did you [ __ ] didn't you didn't you

05:46

didn't and you didn't you can't come to

05:48

the EAD and defend with you know 18%

05:52

possession and do nothing after 20

05:55

minutes going forward and I'll tell you

05:57

what I sawers have the ball in position

05:59

where we could have played people in and

06:01

you're doing little [ __ ] flick flicks

06:03

and shitty passes that is why we've not

06:07

got something from this game today

06:08

because despite what I thought was some

06:11

ridiculously inconsistently incompetent

06:14

officiating and a Absolut you know am

06:17

rat's done you know I was willing to

06:19

give him a chance I mean that that's

06:22

just I don't know what to say and

06:24

Anthony as well that that that that

06:26

those those two Off the Bench I mean

06:30

look you've got to make substitutes you

06:31

have but [ __ ] hell you know 3121

06:36

makes no difference but 3-1 makes it

06:38

look a lot more convincing than it

06:40

really was 2-1 would have been the right

06:42

score I think based on you know the

06:43

referees of Pratt but 3-1 you know all

06:47

the hard work of the Defenders and the

06:49

Midfield out the window because amrabat

06:52

is [ __ ] useless I mean why does he

06:54

not just boot the kick the ball away but

06:56

um no amongst all all of it I think the

07:00

most important thing that that I would

07:03

say is that there are look there's not

07:05

there's not one five there's not one

07:07

size that fits all here man city are a

07:10

fantastically good footballing side we

07:12

already know this um I've not seen a

07:14

team go to chel uh Man City in a long

07:16

time and you know even make them

07:20

look partially uncomfortable with

07:23

possession so I'm not really bothered

07:24

about that I would have done exactly the

07:26

same tactics that ten hog did and I

07:28

thought it were well for 20 minutes but

07:31

lo and behold again United's big problem

07:34

is we can't get 11 players to play well

07:37

at the same time um they absolutely let

07:41

us down in the front four positions um

07:45

and look I like gacho rashford scored a

07:48

good goal I like Bruno but it's not

07:50

acceptable it's the performance is so

07:53

bad and mctom was really bad but we had

07:56

to play him because you know set pieces

07:58

we knew were going to be important but

08:00

the problem is it's like I almost just

08:03

think I wish we were playing Everton

08:05

tomorrow because there's nothing you can

08:07

do like there isn't anything you can do

08:09

I look at the bench you've got um the

08:11

young Defender you've got Cala you've

08:14

got forson you've got Ahmad you've got

08:17

Kia and then you've got Anthony and

08:19

amrabat who get brought on and they're

08:21

[ __ ] [ __ ] so I'm like it's so

08:24

frustrating and I actually saw somebody

08:27

say you know well it's not acceptable I

08:30

know we've got injuries but it's not

08:32

acceptable we should be doing better

08:33

than that and I'm like but how how are

08:35

we going to do any better than that like

08:38

look at the bench you're talking like oh

08:41

you know we shouldn't pick momy and

08:43

Bruno because we should be picking Mount

08:44

and Erikson Erikson's been rubbish for

08:48

for weeks mount's not fit we've got no

08:51

Strikers we've got no left back I mean

08:54

look if we're being really harsh I think

08:56

it's a foul on rashford but Lindelof has

08:58

got to do a lot better on foden you

09:01

can't let foden cut in and shoot on his

09:03

left foot it's crap defending but it's a

09:06

center back playing at left back I don't

09:08

you know he's got to bring Anthony on

09:10

because gacho is not having a good game

09:12

he's got to take rashford off because

09:13

he's not having a good second half and

09:15

then you've got to bring amrabat on and

09:17

you've got to bring Anthony on and they

09:18

offer absolutely nothing and you can't

09:20

be throwing kids on in a game like that

09:22

it's not fair like the bench is just got

09:24

nothing and and and and you know look I

09:27

think against Fulham it was massively

09:29

disappointing for different reasons it

09:31

was a it was a [ __ ] show but I think

09:33

today I think ten hog tactically

09:35

couldn't have done anything else people

09:37

will talk about possession but then

09:39

they're they're going to pretend that

09:40

Bruno wasn't [ __ ] useless that momy

09:43

wasn't a ghost that gacha and rashford

09:46

really struggled I I watched that second

09:48

half and there was at least five

09:50

occasions where I felt we could have got

09:52

into a position to have a shot and we

09:54

didn't um we were so bad in the final

09:57

third and actually look I don't take any

10:00

comfort in this but it sort of proves

10:03

the point of last week the reason Fulham

10:06

kept breaking on us at Old Trafford was

10:08

because the front four kept giving the

10:10

ball away and then in this game the

10:12

front four kept giving the ball away at

10:14

at some point we've got to look at that

10:16

front four and go they're not keeping

10:19

hold of the ball and taking the pressure

10:21

off the Midfield and the attack and the

10:23

defense they lose the ball all the time

10:26

and and it's so frustrating you can't do

10:28

that the thing that Chelsea did really

10:30

well when they got a draw was that they

10:33

defended well and we did that we

10:35

defended well we did what Chelsea did

10:38

but what Chelsea did on the break was

10:40

they were a threat every time they they

10:42

were clean with the ball they looked

10:44

after the ball they played the right

10:45

passes at the right time and they

10:47

created chances and then they had

10:49

something to hold on to and United were

10:52

trying to hold on with one goal from the

10:55

20th minute it's too long it's way too

10:58

long it should have been 2-1 am rats a

11:00

pratts but it's still too long it's like

11:03

playing the chase we didn't have enough

11:04

in the bank that they weren't going to

11:06

go past us and I I really think that

11:09

United's front four at the moment is a

11:10

massive problem they give the ball away

11:13

too much and it's it's a massive drop

11:16

off without Rasmus in the team it really

11:17

really is um look yeah I mean the the

11:22

the result is really really frustrating

11:24

um you know but I've got to look back

11:26

and say harand should have scored before

11:28

halftime

11:29

um it's it's difficult it's difficult

11:32

and and and when rashford scores that

11:34

goal you think you know maybe we're

11:36

going to get something here um but it

11:38

but it would have been it would have

11:39

been it probably wouldn't have been

11:41

right if we got something because it's a

11:43

little bit like anfield you can't just

11:45

go and get away with it um more than

11:47

once a season and I think we would have

11:49

been getting away with it um but

11:53

honestly I I think this is if I if I'm s

11:56

Jim Radcliffe and I'm watching that as a

11:58

man united fan

12:00

I'm not looking at the manager based on

12:01

that I'm not because it's not to me that

12:04

I don't know what what else he can do I

12:06

I don't know what else he can do with

12:08

the players he's got available I mean as

12:10

I

12:11

say when we when we do the player

12:14

ratings you've got to play well in a

12:17

game like that I think every man City

12:19

player played well every one of them

12:21

played well and half of our team didn't

12:24

play well and look I I applaud the

12:27

efforts I applaud the unity I mean

12:29

that's an improvement I mean if if you

12:31

if you want to take positives from it

12:32

there was a real camaraderie there was a

12:35

real organization and we never at any

12:38

point looked like we were going to

12:39

capitulate like we did at anfield a year

12:41

ago but it's the performance and and I

12:45

just I don't know I I felt rashford

12:48

should have ran at Kyle Walker a few

12:49

times but didn't have the confidence

12:51

because of his pace which is weird

12:52

because rashford's fast I think gacho

12:55

really struggled on that left hand on

12:57

that right hand side as I said Bruno I

13:00

mean look he played a game again there's

13:02

no one else to play but it wasn't good

13:04

and Momin I just I felt he was like

13:07

almost like 10 men apart from set pieces

13:09

like

13:11

rodri he just lost him all the time so

13:14

look it's it's hard at the moment it

13:17

really is hard and it's not going to get

13:20

any easier is it I mean Rasmus is meant

13:22

to be back at the weekend against

13:24

Everton and we need him back but we're

13:28

really we're really

13:29

we're really struggling aren't we like

13:30

we're really struggling and and with

13:32

Liverpool in the cup and you know in the

13:34

league and we've got to play Arsenal in

13:36

the league as well these games are going

13:38

to be really tough when we come up

13:39

against well organized teams at the top

13:40

of the league um but I do still hark

13:45

back to the fact that we were well

13:47

organized at the back and we were

13:49

compact and we didn't really concede

13:52

many good chances apart from the Harland

13:54

goal and then obviously the the the

13:56

foden goal the second one I think an AR

13:58

should save it the first one is a

14:00

brilliant goal but Lindelof is naive and

14:03

the third goal is a mistake by amrabat

14:05

so I thought we defended well I think as

14:07

an attacking unit we give away the ball

14:10

too much we don't take care of the ball

14:12

and I'm tired of saying it I'm tired of

14:14

saying it it was the same against Fulham

14:16

it was the same against forest and it

14:17

was the same today the same players not

14:20

looking after the ball when we look

14:22

after the ball like we did in the first

14:24

20 minutes we were creating chances and

14:27

then just completely stops I don't know

14:29

why um Ben says D was our best player uh

14:32

rajer says the game changed when Evans

14:34

came off and the defense lost the shape

14:36

Mayu came off not MCC Casper led to

14:38

Midfield being overrun says Raja let's

14:40

be real there was no scenario where we

14:42

beat City key players missing in action

14:44

this is the best we could hope for a lot

14:45

of mistakes but alas next time says

14:47

press amrabat was City's best player I

14:50

mean I just I Jalal you I was fuming I

14:55

was absolutely fuming um it's it's just

14:59

look you want players to do well but we

15:02

spend a lot of time but we spend a lot

15:04

of time and we passionately invest in

15:06

our team just kick the [ __ ] ball out

15:10

like in a game like it's it's

15:12

unforgivable that just absolutely pissed

15:15

me off um Eric tenh har came in to the

15:18

game with a plan but the players let him

15:20

down says Alec rashford cannot stay down

15:22

got to come back hit there says Daniel

15:26

um add that to the list of charges

15:27

against them 116 says Dar in my opinion

15:30

doing the basics right today beat

15:31

Hollywood flicks and passes says Reagan

15:33

yeah I just I just don't think our
